Alfred Nobel invented dynamite to save the lives of construction workers, never intending for it to be weaponized by terrorists. Far from a cynical act of self-promotion, Nobel’s creation of the Nobel Prizes was kept completely secret in his private will until his death, gaining zero public relations benefits during his lifetime. Ultimately, Alfred Nobel cannot be blamed for the malice of others who turned a lifesaving construction tool into a weapon of terror. His true intent is permanently written in history through the Nobel Prizes, proving he sought to build human progress, not destroy it. It is a shame that almost every great thing will be used by evil for evil. As far as war goes, if you refuse to prepare, you will be conquered.>> <<@hussainibnkawthar9398 says : Prizemite>> <<@ZitroKingCX says : 11:11 sounds like the back story to a true psychopath>> <<@Petey-f says : „uwu i didnt know my invention that destroys was going to be used to destroy“ Rest in Hell my guy.>> <<@R005T4R says : is it just me or is the guy with the beard (derek) completely uninterested in his own channel. dude looks annoyed in every video he’s in now. Even when he’s being told cool facts he’s sitting there like he wants to be at home barely listening. i know it’s a recording and maybe had multiple takes and he was tired but damn brotha you don’t even seem to care why put yourself on the show at all anymore?>> <<@sender5804 says : bad energy from Veritasium guy>> <<@johnobono4240 says : How ironic Same Alfred Nobel of the well known peace prize? White washing as you ought to see it>> <<@pegasusted2504 says : when doing the blasting cap, @16:46, bit they said the small target hadn't been punctured. It had. I could clearly see a hole in it.>> <<@TZ167 says : 44:06 crackin me up lowkey>> <<@juhmop says : why does katharine's office look like the cieling is to the left of her>> <<@lebonbon002 says : Was he iron man?>> <<@Tomato-oi1cg says : 19:04 No Alfred, don‘t blame yourself>> <<@peterng3927 says : @veritasium You incorrectly cite that Ascanio Sobrero was looking for a medicine when he synthesized nitroglycerin in 1846. He was conducting basic laboratory research in organic chemistry under the guidance of professor Théophile-Jules Pelouze. The goal of this research was to study the reactions of nitric acid on organic substances. The confusion often comes from two facts about his life: He had a medical degree: Sobrero initially graduated with a degree in medicine in 1832 before deciding to dedicate the rest of his life entirely to chemistry. He tested it on his tongue: Like many 19th-century chemists, Sobrero tasted his creation. He noted that a trace amount of "pyroglycerin" on the tongue instantly caused a violent, throbbing headache. It wasn't until 1879 when English physician William Murrell proved that small, safe doses of nitroglycerin could widen blood vessels and quickly relieve the chest pain of angina pectoris.>> <<@mdturnerinoz says : Misusage: Close Proximity means "close closeness". Proximity does it all on its own; it means "close".>> <<@Thewind-t3m says : 1:35 thought my screen was cracked>> <<@3NILE says : 💎>> <<@NikitosZs says : Что-то черный порох невнятно взрывался вообще, не должно быть так плохо.>> <<@krutono3705 says : 5:18 mushroom>> <<@skipads5141 says : 18:36 Boom. Roasted.>> <<@roelzylstra says : Derek, regarding the Nobel Peace Prize, check out Machado's support of U.S. military intervention in Venezuela and praise of Netanyahu and Israel's obliteration of Gaza?>> <<@FatRescueSwimmer04 says : Where do I buy this stuff?>> <<@A.P.I.U.M says : 25:52 the iron man reference lol>> <<@WilliamLastname-c7f says : A virtue signal of today. See? No more deaths, just puffery.>> <<@kainigwon5433 says : The title is 'How Much Does a Nobel Prize Really Cost?' So how much does it? You told us everything except what you said you'd tell!>> <<@Colinjowle says : Why did they give Obama the prize>> <<@GDJoelS says : 6:55 WAIT A MINUTE, where have i heard THAT before?>> <<@arctikbear says : 33:07 alfred's father look like Modi😂>> <<@stallalalla says : 39:09 haha yeah… nah, we said “I’ll take 10,000”>> <<@samuelfraley8737 says : 12:27 very Tremors>> <<@clintondsouza3657 says : I mean Nobel seemed like a genius with his determination to make nitroglycerine safe to handle. Why should he be remembered for what other humans are using his invention for? Do people remember Henry Bessemer as the guy who made modern steel and hence weapons possible?>> <<@Mexican00b says : blaming him and his inventions for what humans did with them is like blaming the one that discovered the control of fire for he is the real culprit behing humanity violence!>> <<@VladMatejka says : I appreciate you doing a fairer take on some of these people, than others might. To throw a wrench into judging the guy, which I don't necessarily feel the need to do, I just want to say that wanting to redeem oneself (if that's what he wanted to do) does not inherently ascribe goodness to him. Science can be a really tricky road, but the way we walk it and the paths we take speaks volumes in the end. All I will say is that it's too bad he took some of the roads he did.>> <<@oceanepicot2976 says : I love your vidéo. It's juste amazing thank you.😊>> <<@sickofgettingcopied says : The question at the end - if you ask any indian student of the last 4 decades, they will tell you about dynamite besides the nobel prize. lol the people remembering him only about the 'peace' prize.>> <<@turell0 says : To me, considering what he read in that newspaper, the creation of the Nobel Prize was a way for him to seek forgiveness on his deathbed.>> <<@LiewZuoAnOrton says : "ima make a safe bomb!" -nobel "wait theres no safe bomb."-also nobel>> <<@DecodedbyIfeanyi says : Look how happy that professor is explaining this. That's probably how it feels doing what you love. I hope I get that.>> <<@ukQuad says : Today I learned that there is a difference between nobel and noble (im 17)>> <<@rje4242 says : when I was in seventh grade I got "History gone MAD" by the writers of MAD Magazine. it said "1867: Alfred Nobel invents Dynamite, then creates a prize for people who refrain from using Dynamite" with one half him in singed clothing holding a shattered test tube and the other half holding a medal.>> <<@LeoCoolLife11 says : Crazy how the inventor of dynamite turned into a foundation of honor to historical figures.Its crazy that his program is blowin up and became one of the most largest award programs in which it has been widely recognized globally.>> <<@samaielyaotzin6783 says : So Tony Stark was inspired by Alfred Nobel>> <<@DawidStawowski says : Alfred Nobel never attended university, yet he gained proficiency in Swedish, French, Russian, English, German, and Italian. He also developed sufficient literary skill to write poetry in English.>> <<@realistminimalist83 says : Malala... all words. End of the day, she is living a happy life in England and letting Pakistani girls get robbed of their childhood. Just like how Alfred tried to make people believe that he stood for peace.>> <<@playingweirdo4720 says : u said in 1927 the school incident happened. and then u say in 1888 alfred read the paper which had this incident described. i believe there is a mistake here.>> <<@JessicaDiby-u2t says : 7:38 fire in the hole>>
